Animals present themselves real and in the present, giving a sense of their private knowledge. A knowledge that humans usually miss, because humans do not understand animals.

In comparison to animals in their reality, a good portion of human reality is contrived; socially, politically, etc. Manufactured, as in Hollywood make believe, just like the described TV commercial above.

Many kinds of human happenings are make believe. For example, take an objective look at the presidential campaign.

Some humans continue to further retreat from reality and slip into an altered state of consciousness, by “drugging-up,” both excess ethical and illegal drugs.
